Goodbye To Our Childhood Hero
WEEI Sports Radio Network

Growing up just 45 minutes outside of Boston, I have always been a Boston sports fan. Every fan from Boston is dedicated, caring and extremely competitive. That being said when the Red Sox were swept on Monday night by the Indians, every fan in Boston was upset. We were not just upset about the loss in the ALDS, we were upset because we were losing the heart of the Boston Red Sox, David "Big Papi" Ortiz. Why will we miss him? Here's only a few of the many reasons we are sad about the loss of a Boston Hero.

1. His smile

That contagious smile of his that makes every one in the world happy.

2.His dance moves

I don't care if you are a Boston fan or not, this is gold.

3.His home runs

Everybody's favorite memory from their first game is seeing a home run, it's even more special when it is a Big Papi one.

4.His classic mannerism across home base

When you see those two hands go up in the air, you know it's a good game.

5.His Love for this city

He is so passionate about Boston and has always been from the start.

6.His passion for the game

His love for being out on the field at Fenway Park with a big smile on his face.

7.His loyalty to Boston

13 seasons with the team that he loves, that is loyalty for his team.

8.His humor

He has the sense of humor of a comedian and can always make anyone laugh.

9.His love for his teammates

He gets along with everyone on the team and he shows that at many different times.

10.Him

Thank you Big Papi for all that you have done for our city.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
